Work Focus-first
Use Focus as the first step for coding, debugging, and operations instead of starting from guesses or a cold code search.
When to Use This Skill
Use this as the default workflow when beginning new work in a repo or resuming after interruption.
Workflow Overview
- Search Focus for the feature, subsystem, or problem statement first.
- Build a context pack for the exact task once you know the likely area.
- Review recent changes, active tickets, and governance if the work touches durable behavior.
- Use the retrieved context to drive implementation and save back important findings when done.
Examples
- Start with Focus before touching auth refresh logic.
- Build a context pack before changing installer behavior.
- Use Focus to recover state after a long interruption.
